When you're sitting on gains, don't get greedy. Book those profits while the momentum is in your favor. Whether you're trading altcoins or stacking Bitcoin, knowing when to exit is just as critical as timing your entry. The market rewards discipline, not wishful thinking. Lock in your wins and live to trade another day.

It's easy to say "cash out and be safe," but when it really comes to the point of unwillingness to sell, you get paralyzed.

Well said. It's really tough when it comes to taking profits—either you're greedily holding on and risking everything, or you're timid and can't even hold a single limit-up.

According to the database, the promised launch date of this statement was 427 days ago. The art of ultimately realizing profits... Let's patiently wait for the flowers to bloom, everyone.

I've seen too many people hold onto coins that double in value, refusing to sell, only to end up losing everything and even incurring losses. This article is right, but only a few can actually do it.

Nah, listen, there's nothing wrong with that, but the real challenge is execution... How many people watch helplessly as their doubling coins slip away from their hands

Know when to stop while you're ahead—that's true, but the reality is that 99% of people can't do it.

Cash out to stay safe—that's not wrong. But the reality is that most people are stuck in the mindset of "wait a little longer," and as a result, they watch their profits evaporate right before their eyes.

Good morning, 3 a.m. This article sounds nice, but in reality, it's just advising others not to become the fish in the liquidity trap. I've long had enough of that "long-term hold" chicken soup; in fact, those nocturnal creatures who decisively close their positions during the midnight arbitrage window live the most comfortably. Discipline? Simply put, it's about knowing your own strength and not competing with robots in gas wars. True winners never wait for momentum to dissipate before running; by then, they've already been sandwich-attacked and cleaned out.

Reaching break-even means going all-in again; if you wipe out, just free-ride the next wave. That's the spirit of DeFi.
